hey guys Eber here with Hardware Canucks and at CES Corsair is launching a ton of new
products but we were able to try out a few of them before the show basically
these three mice showed up a few weeks before they were announced and while one
of them is a revision to a classic the other the other two are just brand new
but first a message from our sponsors because without the help from corsair
msi razer phanteks and Thermaltake none of this coverage would have been possible
all right so let's start with one of Corsair's most interesting announcements
and that's their partnership with Pixart to create one of the most accurate Mouse
sensors on the market the pmw3391 it is a native 18,000 DPI sensor that can
actually be adjusted in one dpi increments honestly I'm not sure why
anyone would want that amount of adjustments but hey it's a cool
marketing point that sensor is actually the main reason why the M65 RGB elite
is around since it basically uses the same anodized aluminum body and adds the
3291 sensor it so cost $60 - so no premium here we actually looked at the M65 Pro RGB
a few years ago and came away thinking that it was a good Mouse and
you can actually find that video right over here the cool thing is that it has
adjustable weight system that can be used to reduce weight to 97 grams or
increase it to 112 grams nothing else has really changed with this one but be
aware that the M65 is a low and wide Mouse so it is only suitable for certain
grip styles the next month I wanted to talk about is the new harpoon Wireless
which basically uses the classic harpoon shape and as a bunch of new technology
this mouse can operate in one of three notes be a wired USB ultra-low latency
Bluetooth or 2.4 gigahertz slipstream which delivers extremely fast Wireless
response times battery life is rated for up to 60 hours if used without any RGB
but when abling RGB and slipstream will cut that life down to about 30 hours
another improvement over the original harpoon is the 10,000 dpi PWM3325
optical sensor instead of beat 6,000 dpi sensor they have been a few other minor
changes to improve handling and quality but overall it looks like this version
has a going for it there's a small storage
compartment to store the 2.4 gigahertz wireless receiver when it's not being
used and this is pretty convenient there are some downfalls to adding wireless
technology and those focus mostly on two areas weight and pricing the wired
harpoon is known as one of the lightest mice available at just 85 grams whereas
the wireless version is 99 grams as for price this mouse will go for around $50
versus $30 for the wired version in my time with the harpoon wireless there
were a few issues first it absolutely needs surface calibration through IQ
because the default lift off distance is just way too high for my liking I also
noticed that the right click button hardly needed any effort to press that
meant quick flex to left sometimes caused an 800 right click ok so finally
onto the last of this bunch and that's the brand new ironclaw RGB and let me
tell you this is one massive Gaming Mouse Corsair they are specifically
designed this for people with large hands or those who prefer a palm stock
whip based on our experience it can actually be quite uncomfortable for
someone who doesn't fall into one of those categories so this is definitely a
try it before you buy epic Mouse like the m65 RGB elite the ironclaw uses the
new Pixart pmw3391 18,000 dpi sensor but it uses a completely plastic body
the benefit of this is a despite a huge size it actually has a weight of just
105 grams there are also seven programmable buttons which could make
this Mouse a good option for mobile players the onboard profile storage and
a dedicated button to cycle through them is pretty much I must have for a mouse
these days and considering alternatives like the Razer Naga the iron cost $60
price point makes it a more affordable option for people with larger hands so
there you guys having three new mice for the start of 2019 and we'd love to know
your thoughts about them have you ever owned a Corsair Mouse before and if you
did what was your experience like is there anything else that you'd want to
see from their peripherals let us know in the comments down below I'm Eber with
Haradware Canucks stay tuned for more CES 2019 coverage and we'll see you in the
next one
